What's in Our Roof Inspection Reports
Blake has inspected and written reports on thousands of roofs. A good report lets someone who never climbed the roof understand what is up there and why the conclusions follow.
A typical report includes
- Scope of the assignment and the questions asked
- Roof age and overall condition
- Roof system type and estimated remaining life
- Roof deck and building structure as observed
- Every AC unit and roof penetration, located on the roof plan
- Full roof specifications: layers, insulation, cover board, covering, attachment, flashings, edge metal
- Storm-date evidence and damage tied to specific sections
- Labeled photos, including photos of water infiltration and their locations
- Infrared and drone inspection results and core cuts, when performed
- Findings separating legitimate storm damage from wear, prior repairs and installation defects
- Repair, restore or replace options and scope, with the reasoning written out
What we don't include
- Coverage or legal opinions
- Engineering opinions or sealed calculations
- Client names or other clients' reports
